WILBER S. SHAW, OF DALLAS, TEXAS.

CUFF-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 526,821, dated October 2, 1894.

Application filed February 10,1894. Serial No. 499,780. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILBER S. SHAW, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dallas, in the county of Dallas and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Cuff-Holder, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to improvements in cuff holders.

The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of cuff holders, and to provide a simple and inexpensive one, adapted to serve as a sleeve button and a cuff support, and capable of ready adjustment to enable the wearer to arrange his cuffs as desired, and to show them beyond the coat sleeve to a greater or less extent.

A further object of the invention is to enable the cuffs to be readily removed and r0 placed.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.

In the drawings-Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cuff holder constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 isa longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of the cufi holder.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawlngs.

1 designates a sleeve or loop, provided at the inner side of its exterior with a button 2 of any desired construction, and having at its outer side a longitudinal opening 3 to receive the shank 4c of a button 5 of a resilient slide 6. The button 2 is adapted to fasten the sleeve or wrist-band of a shirt, and the other button 5 is designed to fasten the cuff to the resilient slide. The sleeve or loop is provided at each side of the longitudinal opening 3 with a longitudinal series of openings, or perforations '7, or the like to be engaged by projections 8 of the outer reach or side of the resilient slide. The resilient slide is constructed of suitable spring metal, which is doubled as shown; and the inner reach or side is slightly longer than the outer one. The projections 8 of the resilient slide are arranged in a line with the perforations 7 and the outer leaf of the slide may be readily depressed by slight external pressure on the button 5 or the cuff to disengage the projections from'the perforations topermit the slide and the end to be adjusted as desired. The shank 4 of the button 5 is of a size to pass readily through the longitudinal opening of the loop or sleeve; and the slide may be readily adjusted to the desired point, and may be quickly removed from the loop or sleeve and rapidly replaced as desired.

It will be seen that the cufi holder is simple and comparatively inexpensive in construction, that it is capable of ready adjustment, and that its parts may be rapidly connected and disconnected to permit cufis to be re moved and replaced.

Changes in the form, proportion, and the minordetails of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principle, or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.

What I claim is- 1. A cuff holder comprising a loop or sleeve provided with a button at one side and having a longitudinal opening at the opposite side, a resilient depressible slide arranged in the loop or sleeve and provided with a jection arranged to engage the interior of the loop or sleeve and mounted on the tie pressible portion of the slide, and a button mounted on the slide and having a shank of a size to pass through said opening and adapted to enable the slide to be readily depressed to disengage the projection, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. A cufi holder comprising aloop or sleeve provided at one side with a button and having at the opposite side a longitudinal opening and provided at each side of the opening with a series of perforations, a slide arranged in the loop or sleeve and constructed of resilient material and composed of two leaves, the outer one being provided with projec tions to engage the perforations of the loop or sleeve, and a button mounted on the outer leaf of the slide and having a shank of a size to pass through the longitudinal opening of the loop or sleeve, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

WILBER S. SHAW.
